How to Fix Adobe Air Installation Issues
Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I cannot get Adobe Air installed on my computer.” - Erika L., Canada
Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:
- Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
- Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
- Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.
Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.
Wally’s Answer: Some installation problems can occur while installing adobe air. Errors saying ‘please try installing again’, might appear. The installation might stall and freeze. Even blue screen errors can occur. If you encountered one of these errors, you might be able to find an answer here.
What is Adobe Air?
Adobe AIR is a computer program known as a runtime. What this means is that you need to have Adobe AIR installed on the computer in order to run certain applications. These applications are called Adobe AIR applications. Adobe AIR is available for Free.

You can do this to determine if your computer is already running the version of Adobe AIR required by the Adobe AIR application. Follow these steps:
Windows 7 (64-bit version)
